โœ… Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure:

  • You are a Gable Admin

  • You are signed in to the Gable web app

Go to Company Settings โ†’ Integrations โ†’ SSO Provider โ†’ Generic SAML


๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Step 1: Create a SAML Application

  1. In your identity provider (IdP), create a new SAML application.

  2. Configure the following:

    • Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL โ†’ copy from Gable and paste into your IdP

    • Service Provider Entity ID โ†’ copy from Gable and paste into your IdP

  3. (Optional) Add the Gable logo as the appโ€™s entry point for easier identification.

    • Logo is available for download from the Gable SSO settings page.


๐Ÿ“‹ Step 2: Configure SAML Attributes

Map the following attributes from your IdP user profile to Gable:

Identity Provider User Profile

Attribute Name

Userโ€™s first name (Required)

firstName

Userโ€™s last name (Required)

lastName

Unique identifier representing a user

id


๐Ÿ”— Step 3: Set Identity Provider Metadata

  1. Locate the Identity Provider Metadata URL in your IdP settings.

    • Paste it into the Identity provider metadata URL field in Gable.

    • Or, download the metadata XML file and upload it to Gable.

  2. Click Save.

  3. Click Test connection.

    • If successful, youโ€™ll see the attribute mappings result.


โš ๏ธ Important

If your company uses multiple domains (e.g., gable.to and trygable.com), make sure all domains are added to your Company Settings in Gable.


This ensures that all employees โ€” regardless of their email domain โ€” can log in via SSO without issues. Refer to the help desk article here for directions.
